The defense kept us in the game. They seemed to be getting more pressure on the QB which I like.
However, the increased aggressiveness has come at a cost, those early game penalties on the defense really hurt us (especially the one that nullified a fumble recovery right at the end zone). As well, there were a few times were the increased aggressiveness meant someone was open for a short over the top throw that got them yards. Hopefully they straighten out the penalties and they few other miscues.
The offense, however, lost us the game yet again. With DT out, we never really got much going. Marcus Majors did pretty well, very happy we have him, but UNC knew we were going to run it up the middle and we never really tried to change it up. Passing was also disappointing, some of it was Brosmer but I think some of it was the play calling. UNC clearly wanted to pressure the QB and they were successful, yet we kept calling plays that weren't developing quickly and forced Brosmer to leave the pocket to try to keep the play alive. Unfortunately, Brosmer was struggling in that regard and so that meant we lost yards quite a bit. You have to recognize that as the OC and adjust.
